Scott Peterson Wiki - Scott Peterson Biography California Supreme Court overturned the death sentence Monday for Scott Peterson, who was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Conner on Christmas Eve. The court's decision is Calif, a school teacher. Modesto came 15 years after Laci was murdered. Investigators said that Peterson dumped the body of his wife from a fishing boat into San Francisco Bay in 2002. Laci and Conner's bodies were revealed months later. While the murder conviction for Peterson remained in place, the court ordered a new sentencing phase. The court maintains that "the Peterson trial was flawed for many reasons, starting with the unusually large amount of pre-trial public opinion surrounding the case." "We reject Peterson's allegation of guilt and thereby uphold his conviction for murder." However, the court ruled that the trial judge in Peterson's case "made a series of clear and important mistakes in the jury selection, under long-standing United States Supreme Court case law, which undermined Peterson's right to an impartial jury at the sentencing stage." The court also acknowledged that potential jurors had been improperly expelled from the jury pool after they said they did not personally participate in the death penalty but would be willing to enforce it under California law.
